SAP ASE RepAgent Problems

SAP ASE RepAgent errors can be caused by problems with the SAP ASE, SAP Replication Server, or SAP ASE RepAgent. SAP RepAgent records messages in the SAP ASE error log. These messages identify the server that caused the error so you can diagnose and correct the problem.

SAP ASE RepAgent retrieves the data for primary objects from the SAP ASE log and converts the log record information into Log Transfer Language (LTL) commands. These commands are sent to the primary Replication Server for distribution and replication. SAP ASE RepAgent also coordinates database log truncation with the SAP ASE and primary SAP Replication Server.

For more information about how the SAP ASE RepAgent processes errors, see the Administration Guide Volume 1.

• Problems when Starting the RepAgent
  These errors may occur when RepAgent starts up.
• Errors from the Replication Server
  Different types of problems can originate from the Replication Server.
• Errors from the SAP ASE
  Errors from the SAP ASE can be a result of an invalid truncation page or of running out of SAP ASE alarm resources. The SAP ASE RepAgent does not use the SAP ASE log scan thread, and will not encounter any errors related to it.
